Herman Pascal Consigliere Norwegian Embassy communicated with the portal «ARTinfinit» and told us a little about this concert.
- What do you think about the concert?
Herman Pascal: We love it, because we have had it in now 7 years. This is very nice cooperation and it’s very satisfied. They asked every year to do it again, and we also love it. Today it was a full here, it was fantastic
- So, I think, next year we will enjoy such a wonderful concert again?
Herman Pascal: We hope so. It’s very hard to break the tradition, that’s been going 7 years. We have a fantastic cooperation, and we hoped, that we will continue
Norwegian pianist Haldor Maeland also shared his impressions about Moldova and people.
- How many times you were in Moldova?
Haldor Maeland: This is the first time.
- And what do you think about our country?
Haldor Maeland: It’s beautiful, I mean, I just been in town, and next day I’m going outside, so I think, you’ve got a beautiful landscape. I want to see more. And people here so lovely. I thought they were very strict and was a little afraid to come, but everything is opposite, than I thought. I think, maybe next time, I will come with my family.
- How many times you practice here before the concert?
Haldor Maeland: Only yesterday. We have some problems with electricity, so we have only one day to rehearsal, we were on fire. But everything was awesome.
- What do you think about the concert?
Haldor Maeland: Very niсe. Very good orchestra, good energy. I like it.
- And the audience?
Haldor Maeland: Very nice, and was a good feedback, so yes, I like it
And, of course, Mihail Agafita - orchestra conductor, shared with us his opinion about concert.
- Tell us about your impression about this concert.
Mihail Agafita: The impression is the same, like after every concert, during which there were a lot of good things, I notice other hand, they are always there, it's live music, we're not in the studio. All musicians were great; I think I successfully took the program for the event. We start with the first Halvorsen creation, the music in the style of Neo-Baroque like Bach and Vivaldi, but in the vision of 20th - century. I like to play this kind of music; it has the breath of the past, and the concept of the present. I think that all sounded good; the audience is easily perceived it. Naturally, the Piano Concerto - a smash hit.
- You often work with foreign musicians. Do you have some difficulties?
Mihail Agafita: No, music - is an international language, and I speak English, so we also find common ground all times. If a musician is good, then there is absolutely no problem.
And we look forward and wait new concerts and hope to hear amazing performance of Haldor Maeland once more.
